AUSTRIA,BEZAU: DUERING SPORTS SHOP

OSKAR BROUGHT ME TO ONE OF THE COOLEST ALPINE SPORT SHOPS (COMPLETE WITH STAMMTISCH IN THE BACK ROOM WITH COFFEE, BEER AND WINE FOR THE REGULAR CUSTOMERS) OWNED BY A GREAT JAGER HIMSELF, ALBERT DEURING. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY AFTER A FEW GRUNER VELTLINER'S I COMMITTED TO BUYING A FERLACH DRILLING (16 GAUGE OVER .243) A BEAUTIFUL HAND ENGRAVED AND ETCHED SPECIMEN FROM 1960, THAT WAS TOO GOOD TO PASS UP. THEN IT WAS OFF TO THE HUT/RANGE FOR SOME SCOPE SIGHTING AND FINALLY FOR A QUICK REHBOCK HUNT.
